Drumcanman Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 Hi this is Tim Waterson just thought I'd see everybody's opinion on the Arbiter flats drums. I endorse Arbiter and one of the reasons I chose the flats is because I had a car accident last year and I needed a smaller lightweight kit.right now my whole set weighs lighter than my old toms. I looked at other companies but arbiters 1 lug AT sytem was just the answer. And I always get compliments on the musical tones from the drums people stil can't believe the 1" shells project so well. another poll to give drummers something to think about.

felix stein Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 I suppose if they were mic'd they would be hip. I played some jazz on one of the remo sets and I did not care for it. They remind me of roto toms (arbiters) ...I knew a great drummer here who had a huge roto tom kit with a standard kick and snare. He had a great sound, reminded me of the Alex VanHalen tone- which I think was a very good thing. Do yours sound like that?

Drumcanman Posted August 14, 2001 Author Share Posted August 14, 2001 Felix, ther is no comparison between roto toms and the Flats, I( have roto toms and I A-B'd them the roto's project high end only the flats are warmer sounding and roto's are terrible to pack around the Flats go in one case and the hardware in another grab your cymbals and your ready for almost any gig. 3 bags to carry instead of 6-8.I hope this helps Tim Waterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 I played the Flats at Sam Ash the other day and was pretty blown away by how they sounded...I prefer real drums but would like to have an Arbiter kit, they're fun and I imagine they sound pretty good recorded. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarrett Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 Hey, Drumcan! I have heard the flats and think they are remarkable for what they are. The tuning system of all the arbiter line is ... say ... different! Flats is a cool thing ... especially if you are driving a compact car and have lots of local gigs!
